A live album from
Bob Marley & the Wailers on the
Tuff Gong label. It was released in 1978, shortly after a previous album titled
Live (which documented the Wailers first
world tour). The tracks were recorded at various concerts in
Paris,
Copenhägen,
London and
Amsterdam, but the disc is
segued to sound like a continuous show.
If you're like me, this recording will make you very upset that you never got the chance to catch Mr. Marley and the Wailers live. I plead extreme youth; what's your excuse? This is a record to put on when no one else is home so you can dance your fool-ass off, ganja or no.
You will groove to:
Positive Vibration
Punky Reggae Party
Exodus (for a rockin' seven minutes and twenty-six seconds)
Stir It Up (at a faster clip and with a heavier groove than the version found on Legend)
Rat Race
Concrete Jungle
Kinky Reggae
Lively Up Yourself
Rebel Music (3 O'Clock Road Block)
War/No More Trouble
Is This Love?
Heathen
Jamming
